TEMPORARY OFFICES. 7, Bank-buildings, Lothbury, E.C. PROSPECTUS. The " London and Venezuela Bank" has for its proposed operations a ground unoccupied, and is most urgently re quired. Preliminary negotiations have been in progress for now months, and the project has been submitted to th e judgment of the most eminent Venezuelan merchants, and has met with their unvalified approval. Support is promised in highly influential quarters, and the Directors are assured that the privilege of issuing Bank notes will be accorded by the Government. Messrs. Carl Hahn and G. Servadio, Directors and Repre *entatives of the Proprietors in the " Bank of Caracas," have joined the Board, and have undertaken, on the establishment of the "London and Venezuela Bank," to close their esta blishment, and to transfer their business to the present company. The banking facilities which Caracas has hitherto possessed have been very limited, but the fast that the Bank of Caracas has - despite its restricted means—earned a net profit exceeding 30 per cent. per annum, leaves no doubt that the present undertaking will result in complete success. The followin(g, Published by Messrs. Matheson and Co., twhile inviting tenders for thn Venezuelan Loan in June last, will confirm the above statements : " At present there i 3 almost an entire absence of banking accommodation in Venezuela. Possessed of every advantage of clim , ,te and soil, within sixteen days' sail of England, the exis:ing monetary facilities are quite inadequate to the com merce of the country. and to the increasing production and rapidly extending experts of its coffee, cocoa, cotton, es, Le. * * The advantages of this Institution will be obvious to all either politically or financially interested in the prosperity of Venezuela, any as the rates of interest range from 10 to 15 per cent. per annum, the profits may be expected to be consi derable." It may be added, that since that period, owing to the in creased and increasing demand for cap tal for the cultivation of cotton, which is now being exported to England in large quantities, it finds safe and profitable employment at much higher rates than those quoted by Messrs. Matheson. 'The want of an " Exchange Bank" in Venezuela occasions the utmost inconvenience and difficulty in buying and selling foreign bills, and large sums are made by private individuals, who, having no direct interest in drawing or remitting, must be induced to do either one or the other, by the offer of tempt ing profits. The "London and Venezuelan Bank" will sup ply this want, and inasmuch as returns can be mi de with tar greater rapidity from Venezuela than from India, where the Introduction of bafv,ing facilities of a like nature has been found extremely profitable, it is certain that this branch of the proposed business must bo still more remu nerative. The . products of Venezuela are coffee, cocoa, cotton, tobacco, Valdes, indigo, dividivi, and dye stuffs, with an immense 'variety of others, less known, but equally valuable. Its coffee is of the finest quality, and its cocoa is unequalled. On the now all important article "cotton," the following, from a leading article in the ' Daily Telegraph" of the 16th Janu ary, 1863, will be read with interest, particularly in connec tion with banking and ca it .1:—" From Venezuela the qua lity is good and usefu', and some even of the wild plant is described by competent judges as being like midd ing Orleans. parcels imperfectly ginned have been recently sold in the Liverpool market at 2s. and 2s. ld. per lb. Wages are low, and a large iticrease in the cultivation is fully expected;. but the great want is capita." In some parts of the country coal is found cropping out on the surtace of the ground within a few yards of the sea, and the mineral wealth of Venezuela is well known to be very large. This has been demonstrated by assays of many spe cimens of gold, silver, copper, and lead which were shown in the late Exhib tien. The principal control of the "London and Venezuela Bank" will be vested in the Board of Directors in England. They will select a manager of known qualifications in Lon don, who on his arrival wi 1 have he assistance and advice of the Directors in Caracas and La Guayra, who are Euro peans of long resid ence and high standing' in the country, and well known in connection with Venezuelan trade and finance. The Directors reserve to themselves the right to allot so soon and in au;:h a manner as they deem expedient. It no allotment be made the deposits will be returned in full. Five hundred Shares are reserved for allotment in Vene zuela. Appii ations for Shares must be made in the sceompanv leg form, which, with Pro pectuses, may be procured of the Bankers, Solicitors, Brokers, or Secretary at the Offi ea of the Company, where the Articles of As s ociati m may be inspected, and every information cbtamed.

STAMPED ')d. THE S ,TIES, Joseph Denicon, Henry Hope, Lewis Tessier, and Peter Theilusson. Of Thomas Coutts and thze in eresiing incidents of his cp.r!y cr.rter mention has (From the Court Journal.)'. The state of parties in England at the present day undoubtedly presents a very curious susi2ct for speculation to those inclined to investigate the principles and gulding motives of political affairs It is often urged, and with no slight show of reason, that in reality there is very little distinction be tween the two great parties in the State—the Con eervacives and the moderate Liberals—though cer tainly nobody denies that each of these Val .: at:s materially from the Ridical or ultra-Liberal por tion of the community, who are only partially :ppro. seated in Parliament, and are not likely to obtain much influence in this country as long as loyalty, reason, and religion hold any sway over the minds of the great bulk of the people. Still, it has been argued in opposition to the first-mentioned idea, that although Liberals and Conservatives may not find very much to differ about seriously, the former are more inclined to concede to the wishes of the Democratic party, and that were the Conservatives to give way they would, little by little, pave the road for the accession to power and influence of such men as Bright and Cobden, or their friends of the un-English and unpatriotic Manchester school. If we admit this, we shall also acknowledge that there been mace already, and it need ba added only tht he began life with a c;ipit.l uzdur tho7..and, 2rid died worth nearly e. million et money. The c: her of Sir Francis Baring was stiq more • Eucccs I a . Life their modern succt:saors and riv:llF, the world fitmous b , .nkers of the lied the 13,irings came from Germany. The immediate anceator of the family was Herr F.-ane:s 11;Jrint;,pastcr of t.l‘. Gle oTer to t is good reason for keeping up the existing distinc tions of parties, and that even if there be not much to choose between the two, their maintenance in a state of vitality and activity is essential to the welfare and true interests of the nation. Among the Conservative party there is, withon doubt, far less dissension and diversity of opinion than among those who sit on the Liberal side of the house, or support Liberal politics out of doors. Of course there are a few who are dissatisfied with the leadership of Mr. Disraeli, or even with that of Lord Derby—a few ambitious spirits who, with less experience and infinitely less brains, persist in con ceiving themselves to be the only true and fit re presentatives of the Opposition; but these men who are but little respected by anybody, are in a singu larly small minority, and on all important questions they will be found to vote with the remainder of the Conservative party. But how is it among the Liberals ? Take the example of the present Go vernment, and we shall find not only its supporters, but actually its members, voting on different sides, and entertaining such discordant opinions, that it is almost impossible for them to agree in bringing for ward any measure of importance without at least one or two of the Ministers resigning. Of course this is only the inevitable fate of every coalition Ministry . ; but it is owing to this fact that the present Govern ment is so weak, and commits so many and such serious errors. Those errors, moreover, are chiefly errors of non-commission, owing to the fact which we have stated, that they are unable to decide upon or adopt a course which will not be distasteful to some of the members. Lord Russell, once the leader of Reform, is now the apostle of " rest and thankfulness" for past favours; while Mr. Milner Gibson is hand-in-hand with the Reformers. Sir George Grey is all for the routine of the old Whig school; while Lord Palmerston himself, Mr Glad stone, Lord Clarence Paget, and others adopt a more reckless if not dangerous mode of procedure in State affairs. On Church matters, we witness Sir Roundell Palmer differing from Lord Shaftes bury, and some Ministers voting for Church Rates whilst others side with the Dissenters, and so on with regard to nearly every subject of any import ance which might be mentioned, we find them not only disagreeing, but recording their votes against one another. The vote on Mr Baines's motion singularly illustrated this discordance of sentiment and action. Lord Hartingtou, Sir It. Peel, the Attorney-Gene• ral end others went out of the House, thus plainly showing their objection to the bill, while the re• mainder of the Ministers recorded their votes in its favour. NIL Olatlbtune's speech on tee oecaz4on was a singular effusion, and one that laid him open to many imputations, which Mr Whiteside and those who succeeded the Chancellor of the Ex chequer were not slow to seize upon and utter. We can imagine the disgust of such men as Messrs Newdegate, Spooner, and other staunch anti- Reformers, who still maintained some reverence and liking for the right honourable gentleman, when they heard him make this, the final recanta tion, by which he took the last step downwards— the step which has so long and so anxiously been looked forward to by the extreme party, and so much dreaded by the moderate and respectable section. Mr. Gladstone has snapped the last tie which bound him to the constitutional parties in this king dom. Henceforth he can no longer hope to repre sent the University of Oxford, loose and heterodoxi cal though its theology has almost become. He must bid adieu to his Church friends, and make common cause with the Dissenters and Radicals, with Baines and Bright, Forster and Stansfeld, and with the men whom he received the other day— Odgers, Beales, and Co.—and who told him such unpleasant things. It has, indeed, been stated that the speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was intended to act as a means of reviving his lost popularity with the working men, for whom he has always professed so much consideration and solicitude. This may be so, and there is at least no doubt that the working men of England are impressed with the firm conviction that Mr Gladstone was the person instrumental in forcing Garibaldi to depart; but we are inclined to believe that, apart from this, Mr Gladstone had a higher and more important object in view, and that he meant his speech to serve as capital on the hustings at the next general election, and also as the forerunner of a series of speeches and measures which shall ultimately gain for him the entire confidence of the great Liberal party, and their consent to his becoming their leader. We certainly would rather see Lord Clarendon or Lord Granville—nay, even Lord Russell—the successor of Lord Palmerston than the present Chancellor of the Exchequer, who, in spite of his brilliant genius and sparkling oratory, may not be quite the man to lead a numerous and restive body of politicians, or to guide the destinies of the country. If Mr. Gladstone ever becomes Premier of England, he will not receive the support of such men as Lord Granville, Sir Charles Wood, Lord Hartington, and Sir Robert Peel, who may be called the Conservative element in the present Ministry, but he will have to seek out the elements of his Administration among men who have not, and never will have, the confidence of the nation, or the slightest weight in influencing its opinions. We may then look forward to Government measures for introducing the ballot, expelling the Bishops from the House of Lords, and universal suffrage, and then it may be that we may perhaps see a clear and defined line between the two great parties in the State—the Conservatives and moderate Liberals amalgamated, on the one hand, to res ist the en croachments and the dangerous schemes of the Radicals on the other. 10 ac er:ost ra n of f otri ..- - Persons who have been in the habit of Wing weekly as borrowers of Sewing Machines will do well to apply at once and become members of Messrs.

"We pause in vain. We are calmly and composedly placing in the opposite scale many and dear considerations. We have before us a prescriptive authority in records of several thousand years ago, discussed, disputed, and always victorious, running down a channel that seems scooped out for it through printreval rivers, lined with monuments, be yond which man has left no articulate memorial, cuneform or hieroglyphic—all marvellously attesting, by consenting and concurrent testimony, the accuracy of those sacred volumes; then interwoven with what the West considered ancient and the East modern, the annals of the Ptolemies and the Seleneidaa, till tho stream of primitive history, with its evidence of prophecy, still in course of verification, drops silently into that deeper, nobler, and more magnificent re servoir, where it mingles with the pure and living waters of a new dispensation, whence it issues with all the new qualities—evidences, proofs, and applications which are concentrated here. " Here we meet with such a strange superhuman over weight of proof as seems to master every possible objection, and to leave no alternative for a second solution. For, in addition to all that miraculous works and prophetic sayings, and new moral precepts, a fresh philosophy, theology, and social code issuing from illiterate men, in the midst of a most brilliant age, and accepted; we have to throw into the balance the vastest empire ever known, subdued when at its greatest height ; the entire world reformed, trans formed into a now condition by a new legislature, promul gated by ignorant men, propagated by poor men ; proved and pressed on acceptance by men in prison and in the stocks, under the scourge and the knife, on the rack and th• gridiron—till the whole empire and the entire globe rolled spontaneously to the feet of a Galilean crucified on the Janiculum. "Have we not a right to put all these grave and solemn considerations against a solitary cranium, an antiquated fishbone, or a fragment of pottery ? Yet while we are doing so, comes in the sarcasm and the jeer that we aro unscienti fic, anti• progresaist, superstitious, and behind the age ; and sharper than a two-edged sword, and heavy like that of Camillus, it is thrown into the opposite scale, as sufficient to make ours kick the beam. But no: eternal truth will still prevail, when temporal science shall have revised its ' wisdom, and brought it into harmony with the moral evi dences which surround and support revelation.

" May we not, therefore, conclude that this supposed teaching body feels within itself that want of power to act outwardly, which instinct makes us feel, when in the pre sence of a wide chasm, that our frame would refuse to obey our will, if this impelled us forward over it; and that our attempt to leap it must end in an ignominious fall ? CHANCELLOR'S DECISION ABOUT ETERNAL PUNISHMENT. In fact so unreliant has it shown itself, now as ever before, on its own inborn, or Heaven granted, authority and suc cess, that this most solemn and purely religious controversy has passed into the hands of laymen, from the hall of the priests to the tribunal of Ccesar. Now, this has given judg ment, with the minute discrimination, the careful sifting and the cold impartiality, which would have marked a de cision on a conveyance of property, or the transmission of a legacy. And what is remarkable indeed is that the judg ment has gone forth, as valid, and inconcussible, in spite of assessors impugning it, who belong to the highest order of religious teachers recognised by the State. " What is the consequence ? Why, practically that henceforth the inspiration of any proposed portion of Holy Scripture may be safely denied, within the pale of the na tional religious establishment, and thus falls what has been considered the pillar and ground work of its doctrine. " And ao may any one, securely, deny that eternal fire of the judgment to come, which is more effectual for converting sinners than the reading of God's word, which terrified Felix in his powerful wickedness, and Simon Magus in his cun ning impiety. And in this way the great moral ground of divine fear is cut from under the feet of the unrepenting, who may now go on in their way rejoicing. " When we see the foundations of revealed truth thus sapped and abandoned, after a short and ineffectual struggle, by those placed on its walls to defend them, must we not be anxious, and even wee ? Must we not feel dismayed at contemplating the gulph of infidelity towards which the bark, abandoned by its steersmen, is evidently drifting ? " But still more, must we not speak out, believing as we do, and proclaim that to us is entrusted a true and terrible responsibility to uphold revealed doctrine. Must we not lift up our voice and protest, in the name of the Catholic Church, against any weak surrender of her sacred deposit, or any attempt to lessen it, by whomsoever made, and by whomsoever coincided in ? For Sion's sake I will not hold my peace, and for the sake of Jerusalem I will not rest.' THE RECEPTION OF GARIBALDI IN ENGLAND. " And now, a more recent occurrence leaves us no alterna native but to express our feelings —an occurrence which cannot but afflict us, as most humiliating to Christianity. itself. For, although we may not allow any spiritual power or ecclesiastical claims to those who took part in it, yet we must fully recognise their high civil position and the influ ence of their example, and the force of deductions from it on the bulk of the nation, which recognises in them a still more exalted and sacred position. " Within these few weeks, a man of celebrity in his own country, only connected with this country by admiration on his side, and helpful co-operation with all his schemes here, paid England a visit. He was welcomed by many nobles with magnificence, and by multitudes with enthusiasm. With all this, we have nought to do. " We are often warned not to presume to give an opinion on public matters, as beyond the sphere or above the capaci ties of churchmen. We leave, therefore, the deserts of this man to more competent authorities. We leave the military character of one, who was made prisoner in battle against his own sovereign's troops, and who was wounded by a missile from his armoury, to those gallant men, who never paid such homage to a Napier or a Clyde, but who have ever considered that a soldier's loyalty and honour should be as spotless and as highly burnished as his sword. We leave to our statesmen of every party to pronounce on the place to be accorded in their ranks, to one who to-day advocates and perpetrates the destruction of thrones, and gives public rewards for the attempted assassination of kings, and to morrow exhorts his fellow-subjects to reject the constitu tional Government of his country, and centre all autho rity in a despotic dictatorship. But one thing, at least, there is on which we have a right to judgo, to feel, and to speak. Touch religious matters with scorn and blasphemy, speak contumaciously of what we most reverence and love ; and you touch the very apple of our eye, and we have a right to cry aloud, with pain, perhaps with shame. " Some months before his visit, this soldier and states man, assuming the highest possible position, addressed a letter To the English nation, dated September, 28, 1882. From it we extract the following passage : " The initiative that to-day belongs to you, might not be yours to-morrow. May God avert this I Who more bravely took the initiative than France in 'B9 ? She, who in that solemn moment gave to the world the Goddess Reason, levelled tyranny to the dust, and consecrated free brother hood between nations. After almost a century, she is re duced to combat the liberty of nations, to proteet tyranny, and to direct her only efforts to steady on the ruins of the Temple of Reason, that hideous immoral monstrosity, the Papacy.' " Many of you doubtless know what France, drunk with the spirit of irreligion and disloyalty, did to inaugurate the Goddess of Reason, and give her solemnly th to at he worl er d. the To those who do not, it may suffice to say, whatev Prophet and our Lord meant by the abomination of deso lation, standing in the holy place' this expression was veri fied most literally. The triumph of rationality over Chris tianity was symbolised by ' a hideous, immoral, monstro sity,' too detestable to be described. "This representation by an act of sacrilegious solemnity of the victory of reason over revelation, was thus eulogized in an address to the British nation, by the man to whom it is said English ladies knelt. Be it so. The French nation was extolled for that obscene worship, and is reprobated for having repented of its foolish wickedness. And in confor mity with this praise and this blame must the religion of its utterer be considered to stand. "Not In the common crowd, not mingled with Dissenting ministers, in the general levees, but standing apart, elabo rately separated, were the leaders, we will not say, the re presentatives, of the Anglican clergy. Three and three from each highest class of the national hierarchy came for ward, not as statesmen, not as soldiers, not as worldlings— but therefore as priests and bishops—to greet the man who has preached to them doctrines, and applauded to them practices, far beyond those in wickedness, to the proclaimers of which the Word of God forbids us to say • God speed you.' With one hand grasping the right hand of him who had called on them, indirectly at least, to install the God dess Reason on the altars of their ministers—for this was what France did—with the other feebly condemning the doctrines of that Goddess. " Oh, pity, pity I at least, if not worse, that such a spectacle should have been exhibited to England, at the time, the moment, when every energy of every hand should be put forth, not to daily with, but to crush, the spirit, how ever embodied, of infidelity as well as disloyalty I "And now, dearly beloved, must not we who value consistent truth—revealed truth, apostolic truth, the truth that rests on the teaching of the Church--boldly assert our rights to teach it, however others may either vacillate or shrink in its plain delivery ? We stand on our own ground here, within our own holy place. And we ask you to co , operate with us in our effort this day to multiply the num , ber of those churches and sohools into which the spirit of irreligion will never creep, nor any tampering be allowed , with the faith of our fathers."

Science pretends to over throw this belief, and deprive you of your most ennobling an d consoling principle life and action, No, if science, as now read by too many, says true, there was no time w h e n God could have created man ; H n . o moment in which He could have impressed on him s 0 iv His own t o t n, springs divine h . image. from The human race, according to h ages, er unfolding n w fol di which 3 r i a t y s sew a a n recil d etlyo p n o ° w :tg e ha r r s noinB oi lh lif e ; till having passed through i3 to en t rudiment li i l ta lions of some eolus brutish improvements, it reached the stage prov o i f ' d ilag ex istence which immediately preceded the human, for our inheritance—for the man the matured theb intelligence, a o l r lowed ab tre n. us thatl t o h f a tr revelation for the womanhe ripened graces, of the a should have °, many ; makes man the bonding elves to accept such an origin ; while a whole host of proofs assigns link between ..unthinking matter and the breath of God, which made him sentient, reasoning, moral, and imperish able.

Has anything occurred to make these warnings especially requi site at this time, beyond the increasing tendency to liberal ism in religion, and the ease with which are adopted con clusions of rationalism, that have been of late years spreading ?

FRANCIS TUCKER AND CO., 8, South Molion-street, Grosvenor-square. 3lanufactory Kensington (Established 1730). The largest Establishment in England for the Manufacture of Wax Candles for the use of the Altar LutheranGiurch at lirem , n, w ; ( in ntry in the latter part of his lie. His established 11:;naielt.' as a cloth ninnufae:.ur:r ::,Joint at Llrkbeer, in Devonshire, a::d by the eNcreise of untiring industry osequired a clnsiduable forturvi. left four sons, two of whom, John and Francis, cme to London and set up in business es irnnorters . of wools and dye-stuffs, acting also as agents to the Larkbeer cloth factory. The elder brother, Sohn, afterwards withdrew from business, and retired to Exeter; whereupon Francis, then sole head of the firm, wound up his old affairs and began devoting himself to banking transactions. He specu - lated largely in Government loans, and soon became the friend m 3 financial adviser of the Premier, Lord Shelburne, who used to etylc him the Prince of Merchants. Shelburne's successor, Pitt, thought it necessary to gain the goodwill of th e in fluential banker by the gift of a baronetcy, and on May 29, 1793, Mr. Baring became Sir Francis Bar ing. The founder of the great banking house, born April 18, 1740, died Sept. 12, 1810, leaving behind him a fortune estimated at above two millions ster ling. Francis Baring in his own person was, witn out comparison, the most successful accumulator of wealth produced in modern times. It is not without interest to follow the fortunes of the house of Baring for another generation or two. Sir Francis Baring, by his marriage to a n;e3e of the Archbishop of Canterbury, left five sons, the three eldest of whom—Thomas, Alexander, and Henry—became partners in the banking establish- went. Sir Thomas withdrew from business coon after the death of his father, thinking it unbecom.. ing in a baronet to be a banker, and Mr. Henry Baring likewise retired not long after for a very different reason. Henry Baring was passionately addicted to gambling, which he carried on at a high rate at the Pa!ais Royal, Paris, and other famous hells of the time, where his nightly appearance, with mountains of gold and bank notes before him, was the wonder of all beholders, He was by no means an unlucky disciple of the rouge et-noir, for he severel times broke the Enterprise generale des jeux, carrying off sums which would have been princely fortunes to any but Barings. Notwithstanding this luck, his presence at the Continental gaming tables was naturally considered a scandal at the London banking-house of Baring Brothers, and, after some negotiation, Henry Baring was induced to evithdraw from the firm. There now remained, as head of the establishment, Alexander Baring, born October 27, 1774, and brought up in the house of Messrs. Hope. When the Messrs. Hope returned to England, is consequence of the occupation of Holland by the troops of revolutionary France, Alexander Beeing left the establishment and went to the United Ste tee, where he married the eldest daughter of Mr. Bingham, then considered " the richest man. in America," and who brought him a fortune of 900,0(10 dollars. Mr. Alexander Baring had no score:: become head of the houso than he entered on. a series of monetary operations on a gigautic scale and of European importance. The greatest of these—one of the greatest ever performed by a single banker—was, that he freed France from, the incubus of an occupation of Russian, Prus sian, and Austrian armies of 50,000 raen each, b y the loan of a SUM of 27,238,038 francs, or eboi it £1,100,000 at 5 per cent. reute. This raome tolls trac;ion occasioned the saving of the wi sty French Premier, the Dake do Richelieu :—"'nacre are six great Powers in Europe—England, PI-lance, Russia, Austria, Prussia, and Baring Brcthers." Alezanthr Baring—" Alexander the Cie died at Lon,gl,'.t, Wilts, May 13, 181 S, having, een elevated to the peerage, r.r...;.1f.:r the title of Lord Ashburton, in 1835. He left four sons, the eAcst of whom, William Bingham—who died but a few months ago—succeeded him in the family honours, while the second, Francis, born in May, 1800, took for a while the nominal direction of the firm. In this capacity he engaged in some remarkable trans actions. He purchased among others, the whole of the territory surrounding the lake Tezcuco, on the island of which stands the city of Mexico, and thus made himself, in a sense, master of the capital of a great country. The other members of the firm of Baring and Co. were, however, startled by the gigantic nature of the purchase, and, after great efforts, managed to get rid of the supposed Frank enstein. Had they kept their purchase, who knows but that the "Notables," who recently sat in Imperial electoral conclave, might have chosen a member of the house of Baring, instead of the house of Hepee burg, to fill the throne of Mexico ? Mr. Francis Baring married, in 1833, Clara Hortense, daughter of the Duke of Bassano, Napoleon's First Secretary of State, and settled at Paris, in one of the princely residences of the place Vendome, which he pur chased for £64,000. By the recent death of his elder brother, Mr. Fiancis Baring has become Lord Ashburton, and retired from the firm, in which, for some time previous, he was only a nominal partner. The head of the house at the present moment is Mr. Thomas Baring, next brother of Sir Francis Thorn hill Baring, the third baronet, who was Chancellor of the Exchequer in Lord Melbourne's Ministry. Mr. Thomas Baring was born in 1800, and in -1841 was elected member for Huntingdon, which borough he has continued to represent ever him. The Im perial Parliament has now no less than six Barings —one in the House of Lords and five in the Com mons. Few families of Great Britain have risen to higher influence, both in the political and commer cial world, in the course of a century , than the descendants of the humble German pastor, whom chance drove, in his declining years, from Bremen o London.—Railway News.
